Chapter 1
Installing or Upgrading PMDF and PMDF Layered Products

This chapter contains procedures for installing or upgrading to version 6.8 of PMDF, PMDF-MTA, PMDF-DIRSYNC, PMDF-LAN, PMDF-MSGSTORE, PMDF-POPSTORE, and PMDF-TLS on an OpenVMS system.1

If you are installing a PMDF add-on layered product (for example, PMDF-DIRSYNC), that product is included with the base PMDF kit that is on your distribution media.

You will be asked during the installation procedure what optional PDMF add-on layered products should be installed along with PMDF.

Note

The PMDF-DIRSYNC, PMDF-LAN, PMDF-MSGSTORE, PMDF-POPSTORE, and PMDF-TLS add-on products cannot be installed separately from the base PMDF kit. Note that PMDF-POPSTORE and PMDF-MSGSTORE are partially installed automatically with the base PMDF kit, although they cannot be used for more than a few sample users unless you have installed a separate license for the respective layered product.

You will need a Product Authorization Key (PAK) to activate each additional add-on layered product you install. However, you can install a PMDF layered product even if you do not have a PAK for it. In that instance, you will not be able to use that layered product until you have registered and loaded the correct PAK. If you do not install a layered product during the first installation, and later decide to add that particular product, you will have to re-install all the products you use again when you install the particular layered product for the first time.

Note

1 The PMDF product that existed before September, 1994 was subdivided into three products: PMDF-MTA, PMDF-ACCESS and PMDF-LAN. If you have a license PMDF, then you have all three products. PMDF-MTA is considered the base product. The other two products are add-ons.
